I went with the lightning pump because, besides an upcoming intake, my car will be basically stock. And the OEM pump flows more than enough for the stock HE setup.

So guys, Im now beginning to think my new pump is working fine and in reality it was the old pump that wasn't working.

When I touched the old pump after a drive it was cool to the touch, and so were the surrounding hoses.

When I put in the new pump and drove with it UNPLUGGED, it too was cool to the touch after a drive, and so were the surrounding hoses.

Then I plugged in the new pump and started the car and ran to the front and felt the hoses. I could actually feeling hot water rushing through the hoses and into and out of the pump. And after a short drive, the pump was warm, and the surrounding hoses were warm/hot.

So now I'm starting to think the cool-to-the-touch old pump was actually a bad thing, like the new pump with its fuse pulled.

Interesting?
